godwinning 

The act of comparing literally EVERYTHING with Nazi, Hitler, or any ideas behind it (fascism and discrimination, such as racism, sexism, ableism, etc.)

This term taken from Godwin's law (an internet examples of Reductio ad Hitlerum)
Godwinning is dangerous in two ways:
1. It desensitizing people about Nazism real harm, because it's easy to compare everything with Nazi, right?
2. It promotes echo chamber and kills democracy since godwinning is a perfect form of censorship which blocks and shuts down any dissenting opinion, thus expect any groupthink or opinionated, close minded people, or even worse: Totalitarian and Orwellian society when your behaviours are dictated to the very detail
3. It didn't solve anything. Want a difable friendly place? Build it. Want a gender and sex equal zone? Start it by stop making rape jokes---Godwinning is a perfect example of slacktivism

reductio ad hijab 

A logical fallacy (part of ad hominem), when someone dismisses speaker's opinion and attacks speaker's personality just because she's wearing hijab/jilbab/niqab

Sometimes, this fallacy can go hand-in-hand with another fallacy like reductio ad hitlerum/Godwin's law (by accusing Islam religion or Middle East culture as racist, fascist, and such)
Example of reductio ad hijab:

You're wearing jilbab, therefore your opinion is discarded, and did I mention that your religion is a fascistic religion and spread through wars and conquests?
